Don't let the cat out of the bag.
And I do read you posts. Yours are some of my favs. If santa busts us for naughty posts, well, I guess I won't be getting my pony for Xmas.:(

To quote Lenny Bruce in the Lone Ranger Sketch:
"Whaddya need the horse for?"
And thanks for the compliment. Sometimes I worry that I bring the off topic ratio too high, but hey, I'm the lone tai hui guy here, and there's only so long I can talk to myself about that, so I start causing trouble.
Margie, do you guys still have the GotQi key chains around there that look like boxing gloves? I'm seriously obsessed with getting another one of those things, my cat never had so much fun. She did some serious kung fu on those puppies. I'm willing to send all the change in my penny jar, I think there's some in there. Gene won't hook me up, I think he's bogarting them for himself.:D
Has KFQG ever done a fiction section?
With your kind of online time, you should be one of our moderators.
To answer your question, we don't do fiction. We did run a comic strip that started out as sort of a historical/mythological thing, but the evolved into fiction. It was the longest running comic strip in a martial arts mag, but we eventually let it go.
Frankly, most martial artists can't even write non-fiction articles, so to ask for decent fiction is a bit too much. And I don't think it's what our readers are looking for anyway.
:D
Actually, my work system is often on KFO. We're in a lull here, but I can't leave my desk at the same time, so I have to find things to occupy myself. Generally, it's writing, researching, and forum hopping. It's somewhat maddening, as I'm a bit of a workaholic. It's a weird situation, where I'm needed, but because I do a good job, I'm not needed this month, but if anything happened, they'd need me right away. Frankly, it's driving me batty. I've been stealing other people's projects, but I've been doing this work for a long time, so it really doesn't occupy my time. What's really sad is at least once a week, they need me to stay late and do nothing, in case something happens. Corporate insanity. Why'd I ever leave construction?
Yeah, I can definitely see what you're saying about the fiction thing. I started working on stories for Cyberkwoon, and ended up with three when I only meant to write one. I'm not sure what I was thinking, as it's a pretty small market, but hey, it was fun.
If the moderator thing was one of those subtle hints I always miss, I'm gonna miss it. I'm really thinking about going back into construction, I might have a job lined out that would continue all through winter, and I very rarely get online at home, so I'd hate to take something up only to drop it in a short time.
A veterinary degree will complement kung fu animal styles very well. Just think, most masters were skilled in healing arts as well as martial arts, so your studies in and out of the university are great complements. Fantastic!Quote:

Its kinda funny, isnt it?
As for you Gene - no fair bringing up Jackie in the conversation! You still need to take me along when you interview him someday!!!! Shaking his hand was the best experience!
Hi Margie - Goooo Got Qi Girls! :-) :cool:
Happy Halloween to all!
BOOO!
You've actually asked him more questions then I ever have. I met him once very fleetingly at the SF premeire of Rumble, but that's it.
If we could get Jackie Chan, that would be.....great...!!!!!!:D
Hello,
I have nothing to say, but I'm sure this is going to be the longest thread in KFM's history, and I just wanted it documented that I was part of it.
You may carry on now......................;)
Be a part of history? I'll drink to that!
I really don't have say about this thread, but I thought I contribute anyway, so I can be part of the longest thread ever and guess what, I have no idea how this relevant to Kungfu! Best of all, I have no idea what is going on in this thread, from girls to cats and dogs..but, hey it's cool everyones enjoying it and I think that is the most important thing.
hey its not the longest thread ever, do a search on Li Lian Jie and have a look at THAT thread! :cool: don't read all at once or you will grow 10 years older :D

At a high level of abstraction, this thread encapsulates modern day martial artist social views. The psychographics of martial artists are characterized by the seemingly random topics discussed on this thread. In other words, we are a strange breed~ with many interests and talents.Quote:

Long live the Got Qi Girls thread!
You'd be surprised at how many submissions we get for this sort of thing. It's seldom successful. I mean, name a good work of martial fiction? Movies don't count. But don't let that discourage you. You'll have to direct me to some of your writing. I'd love to check it out.
Jet is older. Some of our got qi girls weren't even born when Jet won his first tournament.
Well put Gene's first. I couldn't have put it better myself.:)
